Note that copyright law governs the creative expression of ideas, not the ideas or information themselves. Therefore, it is legal to read an encyclopedia article or other work, reformulate the concepts in your own words, and submit it, so long as you do not follow the source too closely. However, it would still be unethical (but not illegal) to do so without citing the original as a reference (see the plagiarism guideline). | |||
